New generation of sensors: IMU+ Inertial Measurement Unit

The aim is to launch our new pro­duct fami­ly of high-pre­cisi­on dyna­mic tilt sen­sors for mobi­le machi­nes. This new type of iner­ti­al mea­su­ring unit is a com­bi­na­ti­on of an acce­le­ra­ti­on and gyro sen­sor, while simul­ta­ne­ous­ly using a new­ly deve­lo­ped com­plex sen­sor fusi­on eva­lua­ti­on algo­rithm. Com­pa­red to the pre­vious IMU sys­tems, the IMU+ pro­duct fami­ly has the decisi­ve advan­ta­ge that, in addi­ti­on to the raw data for acce­le­ra­ti­on and yaw rate (based on 6‑axis moti­on detec­tion), they can also out­put the intern­al­ly cal­cu­la­ted values such as incli­na­ti­on or ang­le of rota­ti­on in dif­fe­rent axes. In the future, the user will be able to iden­ti­fy devia­ti­ons in the defi­ned machi­ne sys­tem even more quick­ly and ana­ly­ze them more spe­ci­fi­cal­ly.

The use of this solu­ti­on eli­mi­na­tes the need to inte­gra­te mul­ti­ple mea­su­re­ment sys­tems. This saves space in the various app­li­ca­ti­ons and con­si­der­ab­ly redu­ces the time for inte­gra­ti­on.

Novel CAN FD bus test sys­tem

The goal is to deve­lop a new type of test and dia­gnostic sys­tem for phy­si­cal and logi­cal signal eva­lua­ti­on for pro­cess con­trol and error ana­ly­sis in high-speed CAN FD bus sys­tems. In addi­ti­on to the eva­lua­ti­on of the pro­to­col data sup­plied by the bus, the phy­si­cal data of signal shape, height and tran­sit time should be exami­ned and used for the eva­lua­ti­on. The new CAN FD stan­dard requi­res lar­ger amounts of data to be trans­mit­ted at com­pa­ra­tively hig­her working fre­quen­ci­es. It is cur­r­ent­ly being estab­lis­hed in the indus­try and has beco­me necessa­ry to meet the incre­a­sed requi­re­ments for data trans­mis­si­on rates. The­re are still no inter­na­tio­nal tes­ting opti­ons for the new stan­dard that enab­le a simp­le com­pa­ri­son of the phy­si­cal signal qua­li­ty.

Trade fair participation at the SPS — Smart Production Solutions 2020

GEMAC will be repre­sen­ted at the SPS with its own exhi­bi­ti­on booth also in this year. As an inter­na­tio­nal tra­de fair for indus­tri­al auto­ma­ti­on for electri­cal auto­ma­ti­on, sys­tems and com­pon­ents, it offers a per­fect plat­form for our pro­ducts in the are­as of incli­na­ti­on and iner­ti­al sen­sors as well as mobi­le and sta­tio­na­ry fiel­dbus dia­gnostics. The focus in this year is pri­ma­ri­ly on the pre­sen­ta­ti­on and mar­ke­ting of our new iner­ti­al mea­su­re­ment unit IMU+ as well as our expan­ded ran­ge for fiel­dbus dia­gnostics.

In addi­ti­on to gene­ral cus­to­mer care and new cus­to­mer acqui­si­ti­on as well as the ope­ning up of new natio­nal and inter­na­tio­nal mar­kets, we want to con­ti­nue incre­a­sing our level of awa­reness with our com­pa­ny and pro­duct pre­sen­ta­ti­on and streng­t­hen our com­pa­ny and brand image.

Visit us from Novem­ber 24th, 2020 until Novem­ber 26th, 2020 in Nur­em­berg — Hall: 7 / Stand: 297. We look for­ward to tal­king to you!
